WINDING-MACHINE FOR RIBBONS, LACES, OR THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1, 1915.

Application filed March 23, 1914. Serial N0. 826,624.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ERNEST J. MARCOUIL- LER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Oconto Falls, in the county of Oconto and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Winding-Machines for Ribbons, Laces, or the like; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention has for its object to provide a simple, economical and effective head at tachment for winding machines especially adapted for use in retail stores.

With the above object in view the inven tion consists in what is hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

In the drawings Figure -1 represents a side elevation of a portion of the machine embodying the features of my invention having attached thereto a card-gripping head, which head is adapted to wind laces or the like; Fig. 2, a cross-section of the same, the section being indicated by line 22 of Fig. 1, and, Fig. 3, a detailed elevationof a modified form of head coupling connection.

Referring by characters to the drawings,

1 represents a standard provided with jour- Dal-boxes at its upper end for the reception of a crank spindle 2, the uncranked end of which spindle is threaded for the reception of a threaded hub 3.

The hub 3 has extending therefrom a.-

skeleton frame composed of wire.

The wire is bent to form outer card-enif gaging loops 8, 8, and an intermediate loop 9, which loop overlaps the inner stretches of the outer loops and the said outer loops are spaced slightly apart. These springloops are arranged to serve as gripping-jaws or tongues. Between the outer and inter- Gopies of this patent may be obtained for mediate loop is inserted the card B as shown, whereby said card is firmly held in a position to be revolved by the crank spindle.

Fig. 3 shows a head coupling boss 10 having a bayonet joint 10 formed therein for engagement with a pin 10', which pin extends from'the end of the spindle 2. This arrangement of coupling avoids screwthreading and is preferable owing to the fact that it is more readily effected by those unskilled in mechanics.

In the operation, an end of the lace or tape is inserted between the card and one of the stretches of the loops, whereby the said end is held by friction. Thereafter the crank is revolved and the lace or tape stretch is wound back and forth upon the card in the usual manner. This simply constructed head for holding the card is capable of receiving any width or length card, whereby adjustments are avoided and the machine is capable of performing all of the functions necessary in winding or re-winding any articles of the character mentioned.

I claim:

' A winding machine attachment comprising a head having a hub for attachment to said winding machine, the head being formed from flexible wire extending from the hub the said wire being folded upon it- ERNEST J. MARCOUILLER.
